Configuring replication site settings

A storage device has a replication synchronization type of primary, secondary, or asynchronous, depending on how it is configured in the storage device connection of an advanced storage area. However, you can override the replication synchronization type of the device with site-specific settings. For example, a FileNet® P8 deployment with two sites might use a storage device as a primary device in site A and as an asynchronous device in site B.

To configure replication site settings:

1. Open the storage area that you want to configure:
   1. In the tree view, click Object Store > object store name to open the object store that uses the device.
   2. In the object store tree view, right-click Administrative > Storage > Advanced Storage > Advanced Storage Areas > storage area name and click Open.
2. In the Devices tab, set the Default Synch type value for each site that accesses the advanced storage area.
3. Set the Replica Synch type site name value for each site as needed. By default, each site uses the type that you set for Default Synch type.
   1. To override the synchronization type for a specific site, set the value for the specific site.
   2. To remove an override for a specific site, set the value for the specific site to Use default.
